    Not been reported but speaking to a friend within the game and I had heard talks have been happening between his agent and the club about a return.

    In his words "I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet"

    What role might he play?

    Chalobah, Hughes and Lemina and/or Allan in, and Watson, Behrami and Capoue out?

    I wouldn't be complaining.

    With Hughes confirmed and me being hopeful of Lemina/Allan, I can't see Chalobah coming in unless we're losing Capoue, Watson and Behrami. Maybe even loaning Agbo to Udinese too?

    Would quite like to see him return, but unless we make room I can't see why he'd sit on our bench rather than Chelsea's? Maybe Silva sees Pereyra as purely a winger and doesn't expect to play him CAM? This is purely guess work though

    Yes please! A midfield two of Chalobah and Hughes with Pereyra in the number ten role would be superb!

  8. Would we buy him given half a chance and at a reasonable price? I would say absolutely Gino would jump at the chance.

    Would Chelski sell Chalobah? meh.....don't quite see it

    I would love to see him back here. He won't get games at Chelsea with Bakayoko and others coming in. In Gino can get him at a decent price and he can develop with us then he's only going to go up in value. That would fit the Pozzo model.

    I dont think chelsea would sell him, but Conte is calling the shots now and he does seem like he may be surplus to requirements and they would sell him off for some bumper cash to fund the apparent 2 bids worth 96 million for the juventus duo. Of course the 5 million he is worth wont make a dent in that 96 million figure, but he wants 1st team football which he wont get at chelsea.

    I reckon it could happen to be honest.

    I think both Chalobah and Ake could be available at the right priece, probably in the £8 to £10m each

    I agree they will both be available but I think I read Chelsea want £15m for Ake and given we have set a benchmark with Will Hughes I would imagine chalibah will be £12m - £15m - both HG, both will be ridiculously priced

    Makes perfect sense for both us and him. Would absolutely love to see this happen.

    Think we could fit them in somewhere. Behrami is on his was, Agbo is a bit rash to be a first team starter, Watson is a good squad player and Chalobah is better than Capoue

    Aren't the Chelsea young talents given big contracts?

    Tammy Abraham was recently on 'only' £25,000 a week but this has since been doubled after a decent season at Bristol City.
    http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/04/tammy...ge-bump-after-huge-transfer-interest-6615372/

    Chalobah was in and around the 1st team squad a fair bit in the second half of last season, made 13 appearances and in March there were reports of a new contract being readied as Conte was impressed with him.

    He's supposedly out of contract this time next year but I'd be surprised if he left Stamford Bridge, loan or otherwise, just as he's finally actually playing for them and whatever wage he's on I'd be shocked if we could get anywhere near matching it.

    Like Abdi, Fessi and Vydra, great in the championship, but couldn't step up, which is why we let him go.

    Move on people.

  22. Two good players, no doubt. But if Chelsea are going to sell them off at those prices, I think it seriously suggests that neither of them are attaining the potential people saw in them when they were on loan to us, in which case we are looking at a couple of decent Prem players and not much more.

    Both did well for us and both had their flaws when they were here, though Chalobah maybe impressed more of the two; however, I have not seen much that tells me either have moved on significantly.

    If the prices stay under or around £10m, IMHO, they would be reasonable buys, but 10-15 I think is a bit more of a risk than I would be prepared to take. Thank heavens Gino is in charge and not me.

    Chelsea won't sell him on the cheap that's for sure. And we won't be the only team after him.

    I think he's good enough for our first team. But with Doucoure do we actually need him? Depends on the formation Silva plans to play I'd say.

    Oh, and Ake for £15m would not be ridiculous in the current crazy world of the Prem.

  25. I wouldn't say that 10-15 million would be ridiculous in the current climate. Just not sure how much 'value for money' it would represent.

    Sun reckons Ake is off back to Bournemouth for £20m.

    He isn't worth that.

    Since his loan with us he's hardly pulled up any trees, so I can't see many clubs queuing up for him.

  30. Yep. They'll get a decent player. But not £20m worth.

    Been watching the U21s, and he's been one of, if not England's best player thus far, looks stronger than he was 4 years ago, and certainly has a good pass on him. I'd love to see him return, but how on Earth would you be able to pick a team if we signed him and Lemina, because we'd then have those two, as well as Hughes and Doucoure (plus Capoue, Watson and Behrami, though I would expect if we signed another central/defensive midfielder, then at least 2 would be off, or already planning to be sold) competing for at most 3 spots on the field at once, so would see this more as an alternative option to Lemina, but hey ho, could be completely wrong....

    If we get in another cm we are going to have to ship a fair few out or we are going to become the **** arsenal with about 40 centre miss to choose from and no idea what our best pairing is.
    He's a quality player and has showed that for England, won't get the game time at Chelsea but can we afford him? Gunna be looking at easily 10mill and what are his wages going to be like?

    I thought his wages were higher than £35k a week.

    I thought it was £50k but no idea why. I do recall thinking it was an astronomical amount for a young lad who was nowhere near their first team at the time.
